- RATIONALLY DESIGNED LAWSONE DERIVATIVES AS ANTIMICROBIALS AGAINST MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
-
Naphthoquinone derivatives of Lawsone have been found to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Such compounds generally contain a substituent group at the 3-position of a specific naphthoquinone compound, i.e. 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone. One of these derivatives referred to as compound 6c in the series exhibits potent antimicrobial activity that is comparable to that of the two commercial antibiotics ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin against the two strains of methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA; ATCC 29213 and ATCC 6538). In the case of two strains of MRSA (ATCC BAA-44 and ATCC BAA-1717) that have developed drug resistance to both ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, the antimicrobial activity of 6c can almost rival that of vancomycin and daptomycin. Furthermore, 6c is also effective against vancomycin-intermediate and daptomycin non-susceptible strain of MRSA (ATCC 700699). Besides the efficacy, 6c has a much improved drug resistance profile in comparison with the conventional antibiotics.

- A Drastic Effect of TEMPO in Zinc-Catalyzed Stannylation of Terminal Alkynes with Hydrostannanes via Dehydrogenation and Oxidative Dehydrogenation
-
With a system consisting of a catalytic zinc Lewis acid, pyridine, and TEMPO in a nitrile medium, terminal alkynes coupled with HSnBu3, providing alkynylstannanes with structural diversity. The resulting alkynylstannane, without being isolated, could be directly used for Pd- and Cu-catalyzed transformations to deliver internal alkynes and more intricate tin-atom-containing molecules. Mechanistic studies indicated that TEMPOSnBu3 formed in situ from TEMPO and HSnBu3 works to stannylate the terminal alkyne in collaboration with the zinc catalyst, and that both of dehydrogenation and oxidative dehydrogenation processes are uniquely involved in a single reaction. (Figure presented.).

- Antimycobacterial activity evaluation, time-kill kinetic and 3D-QSAR study of C-(3-aminomethyl-cyclohexyl)-methylamine derivatives
-
A series of C-(3-aminomethyl-cyclohexyl)-methylamine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antitubercular activity. Some of the compounds exhibited potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. One of the compound having t-butyl at para position of the benzene ring showed excellent activity even better than the standard drug ethambutol with MIC value 1.1 ± 0.2 μM. The time-kill kinetics study of two most active compounds showed rapid killing of the M. tuberculosis within 4 days. Additionally atom-based quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model was developed that gave a statistically satisfying result (R2) = 0.92, Q2 = 0.75, Pearson-R = 0.96 and effectively predicts the anti-tuberculosis activity of training and test set compounds.

- Molecular recognition of viologen by zinc porphyrinic receptors with diarylurea sidearms. Toward construction of a supramolecular electron transfer system
-
A series of zinc porphyrinic receptors for a viologen substrate (hexyl viologen, HV2+) were synthesized, in which varying numbers of diarylurea moieties, from one to four, were appended at the porphyrin's meso positions. The increase in the number of the diarylurea moiety led to the increase in stability of the receptor-HV2+ complex, showing that the convergent dipoles set up on the porphyrin platform played an essential role in the complexation. In this system, formation of the stable electron donor-acceptor complex resulted in the effective electron transfer from the singlet excited state of the zinc porphyrin to HV2+.
